...court, reserving a decision, told each party to file a brief next week. With a "backlog of deferred maintenance" of more than $75 million on all its schools, the perennially short-funded board offered Allen Myers a bit of appeasement. Decrepit old P.S. 19, it announced, will be abandoned just as soon as a new school, now going up, is completed next summer...
...plan called for subcontracting wing panels, tail surfaces and other smaller parts to outsiders, not only for Panthers but also for the Cougar, a swept-wing Panther. Thus, Swirbul has kept his work force down to 11,800-less than half Grumman's wartime peak, although his order backlog has soared to roughly $900 million.

Vasco Pratolini wrote The Naked Streets in 1943, between chores in the resistance movement, and first published it eight years...

If exhibitors boycotted the new films, as they threaten to do if RKO jells to TV, the studio could easily lose more than a TV deal might make. President Stolkin also soothed the exhibitors with word that RKO was planning...
